摘要：Geomagnetic storm can affect the performance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) precise positioning services. To mitigate the adverse effects of strong geomagnetic storms, we propose to establish the geometry-free (GF) cycle slip threshold model based on ionospheric disturbance index rate of total electron content index to reduce the false detection rate of cycle slip in GNSS precise point positioning (PPP) during strong storm periods, thus improving the accuracy and reliability of GNSS PPP. The performance of our proposed model is validated by using 171 International GNSS Service (IGS) tracking stations data on 8 September 2017. The analysis indicates that compared with conventional PPP scheme, the proposed model can improve the positioning accuracy by approximately 14.0% (36.8%) and 23.1% (51.5%) in the horizonal and vertical components for global (high latitudes) stations. Furthermore, the availability of our proposed model is also validated by PPP experiments using 379 IGS tracking stations data during another strong storm occurred on 26 August 2018.
